India (IND) and New Zealand (NZ) will play their first one-day international (ODI) match on January 18. The Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad will host the match. In a crucial year for the ICC World Cup, the men in blue are eager to extend their winning streak against the best ODI team in the world. New Zealand defeated Pakistan in the 2-1 ODI series.
Fans of both teams can anticipate a fierce and exciting battle as a result. The first one-day international between India and New Zealand will take place on January 18th. The match, which will take place in Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, will begin at 1:30 p.m. IST. It will be challenging for Ishan Kishan to play in the eleven in the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand.
Despite achieving a world-record double hundred, his exclusion from the team has sparked controversy. Because KL Rahul is unable to play due to personal reasons, Kishan, who is also able to keep wickets, takes his place. However, in the three-match series that begins on Wednesday (January 18), he might not be asked to open.
Kishan was forced to withdraw from the Sri Lankan series despite scoring Bangladesh’s fastest double hundred in the previous series. Shubman Gill was chosen ahead of Ishan to open for captain Rohit Sharma because of his scores of 70, 21, and 116 in the Sri Lanka series.
